How to Contact a Design Psychologist

A design psychologist may help with home, office or website design.

Design psychology is a relatively new field and is not yet recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA). Use similar steps to finding any professional service provider to find a design psychologist: phone books, Internet searches and reviews or recommendations from others. Depending on your needs, you may be able to use an interior designer, architect or a graphic or web designer as an alternative capable of providing similar services.

Instructions

1. Write down everything you want to discuss with a design psychologist. Knowing what you need in advance will make the search process easier. For example, are you interested in redesigning your office to make it more pleasant? Or do you want to consult about your website design, including colors, images and wording?

2. Check the Yellow Pages. If there are any design psychologists, they will be listed as a sub-section of the "Psychologist" section.

3. Conduct an internet search for design psychologists. This will turn up websites for design psychologists who may offer long-distance services such as consultation and recommendations based on phone conversations and pictures of the room, home, office or space (or other project).

4. Contact the design psychologist through the "Contact" link on her website.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't be discouraged if your searches do not turn up any design psychologists. It is a relatively new field, and they may be difficult to find.
